[seq24-users] Modifying keyboard shortcut for delete button?

[Daniel J. <da...@64...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to change the keyboard shortcut for deleting a note in the 
piano roll of seq24, so we can use it on the Indamixx 
(http://www.indamixx.com/) without an external keyboard. (The Indamixx 
tablet hardware has a Backspace key, but no Delete key on-board).

I've taken a look at the .seq24rc file, but the keycode for the delete 
button (according to showkey -a) is:

^[[3~    27 0033 0x1b
          91 0133 0x5b
          51 0063 0x33
         126 0176 0x7e

and this does not seem to be listed in the .seq24rc file. This makes me 
think the delete button keycode is hard-coded in the Seq24 source. By 
contrast, the codes given in the .seq24rc file for:

# bpm up, down
39 59

do correspond to the showkey output for the ' and ; keys on my machine, 
which do indeed adjust the tempo of seq24.

Has anyone tried hacking on the seq24 source to adjust keyboard shortcuts?

I'd also be interested in modifying the sequencer so that users don't 
have to hold down the right mouse button to enter notes, as this is 
quite cumbersome on a tablet. For example, in the energyXT sequencer 
it's a double click to enter a note, and a right click to remove one - 
and that works well with a touchscreen.

Cheers!

Daniel
